19. Love

"It's everything Lydia can translate... And trust me, she was very confused." Allison says handing over the tablet through the bookcase
"Yeah, what'd you tell her?" Scott asks
"That we were part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." She says.
"I am part of an online gaming community that battles mythical creatures." Stiles says
"Of course you fucking are." Rayne groans
"Okay, does it say how to find out who's controlling him?" Scott asks.
"Not really, but Stiles was right about the murderers." Allison says
"Yes!" Stiles exclaims
"It calls the Kanima a 'weapon of vengeance.' There's a story in there about this South American priest who uses the Kanima to execute murderers in his village--" She says.
"All right, see? So, maybe it's not all that bad." Stiles says
"Until the bond grew strong enough that it killed whoever he wanted it to." She continues
"All bad. All very, very bad." Rayne says
"Here's the thing, though. The Kanima's actually supposed to be a Werewolf, but it can't be--" Allison says.
"Until it resolves that in its past which manifested it." Scott reads
"Okay, if that means that Jackson could use a few thousand hours of therapy, I could've told you that myself." Stiles says and Rayne laughs
"What if... it has something to do with his parents? His real parents?" Allison asks.
"Okay, now I feel bad for laughing." Rayne says.
"Yeah, does anybody actually know what happened to them?" Scott asks
"Lydia might." Stiles says
"What if she doesn't know anything?" Scott asks.
"Well, he doesn't have a restraining order against me, so I'll talk to him myself." Allison says
"I'll go too, he doesn't have one against me either." Rayne says and Allison nods
"Okay, what do I do?" Scott asks.
"You have a make-up exam, remember?" Allison reminds
"Promise me." She says taking his hand
"If he does anything, you run the other way." He says.
"I can take care of myself." She says
"Allison, if you get hurt while I'm busy with some stupid test, someone's going to need to take care of me. If he does anything--" Scott warns
"Like...?" Allison asks.
"Anything weird, or bizarre-- anything." He says
"Anything evil!" Stiles says poking his head through the bookcase
"Ah! Ow!" He says as she pushes his head back.
"Where's my speech of how I need to be careful?" Rayne asks
"Just don't die." Scott says
"Thanks." She says.

Rayne and Allison watch as Jackson walks into the locker room holding their heels and then goes to open the door when Matt walks out
"Oh, you just scared the hell out of me!" He says
"Sorry, I wa-I was just, um, I was-- nothing." Allison stumbles over her words.
"Ah, that's a-- Nice heels." He says
"Oh! Yeah, uh, my feet were hurting, so I--" She says
"Same reason I never wear mine." He says and Rayne chuckles.
"What?" Allison asks
"Uh, forget it." He dismisses
"Don't worry, it was funny." She says.
"Hey, did you hear about the underground show? Apparently, they've got some big name spinning." Matt says
"Oh, you mean, like, a rave?" Rayne asks.
"Oh, is it still a rave if you don't roll? I just call it a party. But hey, I got a friend who can hook us up with tickets if you're down. Want me to get you one?" He asks Allison.
"Yeah. Yeah, great." She says
"Yeah? All right, cool. Um, it's Friday, so... Looking forward to it." He says and walks away leaving Allison confused
"Oh, sweet sweet Allison." Rayne says and they walk into the locker room.
🪐
"Jackson?" Allison calls
"In here." They hear and then see Jackson. Naked.
"Well, I'm scarred for life." Rayne murmurs.
"Is something wrong?" Jackson asks
"Y-you could've warned us." Allison stammers
"You're the one that walked into the boys' locker room." He says and walks to them.
"Come any closer and I will have the restraining order against you, you little f--" Rayne says
"Forget it." Allison cuts her off
"Did you wanna talk about something?" He asks.
"We can talk later." She says and then Jackson blocks them
"No, let's talk now." He says
"Do you still have the cross bow?" Rayne whispers.
"W- we have to get to cl--" Allison says
"Oh, no, no, you don't. No, you have perfect grades. You can skip one class." Jackson interrupts
"Are you okay? Your heart's beating like crazy." He asks.
🪐
"I thought you wanted to talk." Jackson asks
"I-I-I changed my mind." Allison says trying to back away
"You sure? Because you look a little stressed." Jackson says.
"Is it Scott? Is it that whole thing? I still can't believe you actually think your little Romeo and Juliet story is gonna last. You know he's eventually just gonna run to Derek and join up with him and his little wolf pack. If you don't realise that, then you gotta be the stupidest bitch in this town. Well, other than Scott, since he's a pretty stupid bitch himself..." He continues to taunt
"Stop. Just stop!" She says.
"What about you, Rayne? You think Erica is still gonna want you? She has every guy and girl wrapped around her finger. You're just a sad, pathetic excuse for a person, you're weak and it's just sad. The whole tough act is getting you no where, the world would be better without you." He says as Rayne doesn't show any emotion.
"What are you gonna do, Allison? Hmm? When your stupid bitch of a boyfriend turns on you? They kill your aunt. They almost kill Lydia. Who do you really think's gonna be next, hmm? Not you? No, no, it can't be you, because you're in love. Is that what you tell yourself? Hmm? 'Scott's different, and everything's gonna work out because we're in love.' Well, if that's what you believe, then you're already dead. I just-I just hope your dad has been teaching you moves to protect yourself..." He mocks.
"Actually, he has." She says and in an instant they end up on the ground
"I would not want to be on that floor." Rayne says as she stays by the door
"Allison? Rayne? What are you doing here?" Jackson asks getting off Allison and then Scott walks in.
"I-I'm fine. I'm fine. Scott, I'm fine! Scott!" She shouts as Jackson puts on his shorts and a very angry Scott pushes Jackson onto the lockers
"I HAVE A RESTRAINING ORDER!" Jackson shouts furiously
"Trust me, I restrained myself." He says and they begin to fight.
They go through the door and Erica holds Jackson back and Stiles does the same but fails so he passes him to Rayne
"Really?" She asks.
"What the hell's going on?" Mr Harris asks
"Hey! Enough! Enough!" He yells.
"What do you idiots think you're doing?" Harris asks
"Jackson! Calm down! Mr. McCall, you wanna explain yourself? Stilinski?" He asks.
"You dropped this." Matt says holding the tablet and then Harris takes it away
"You, and you-- actually, all of you-- detention. Three o'clock." He says.
🪐
Erica and Rayne sit together and Stiles and Scott joins them
"Oh, uh, we can't be in detention together. I have a restraining order against these tools." Jackson says
"All of these tools?" Harris asks.
"No, just us tools." Stiles says
"Fine. You two, over there." Harris says pointing to the seats
"They weren't sitting next to you jackass." Rayne says flipping him off.
🪐
Jackson stands up and gets his bag while holding his eye
"Are you all right? Hey, you don't look so good." Harris says
"I just need to get some water." Jackson says.
"No one leaves their seats." Harris looks back at everyone and then leaves and Stiles and Scott sit next to Erica and Rayne who are drawing.
"Stiles says you know how Jackson's parents died." Scott says
"Maybe." Erica says
"E." Rayne says looking at her and she sighs.
"It was a car accident. My dad was the insurance investigator, and every time he sees Jackson drive by in his Porsche, he makes some comment about the huge settlement he'll be getting when he's eighteen." She says.
"So, not only is Jackson rich now, but he's getting even richer at eighteen?" Stiles asks
"Yup." Erica says
"There's something so deeply wrong with that." He says.
"You know what? I could try to find the insurance report on my dad's inbox. He keeps everything." She says going onto her computer
"Scott McCall, please report to the principal's office." Victoria Argent says over the PA speaker
"Good luck, Scotty boy." Rayne smiles.
🪐
Jackson comes back with Mr Harris as Stiles, Rayne and Erica all look on her laptop
"Whoa, look at the dates." Stiles says
"Passengers arrived at the hospital DOA. The estimated time of death, 9:26PM, June fourteenth, 1995." Erica reads.
"Jackson's birthday is June fifteenth." Rayne says and they look at her
"What? Lydia talked about it all the damn time she made me help with gifts." She defends and Harris packs up and so do the rest of them.
"Oh, no, I'm sorry. Uh, yes, I'm leaving, but none of you are. You may go when you're done with the re-shelving. Enjoy the rest of your evening." Harris laughs and Rayne flips him off as he turns and leaves.
🪐
"It means he was born after his mom died by c-section. They had to pull him out of her dead body." Stiles explains as they put books on the shelves
"So, was it an accident, or not?" Allison asks
"The word all over the report is 'inconclusive'." Rayne says.
"Then his parents could have been murdered?" Scott asks
"If they were, then it falls in line with the Kanima myth, you know It seeks out and kills murderers." Stiles says
"But, for Jackson? Or the person controlling him?" Allison questions.
"We have to talk to him. We have to tell him." Scott says leaving
"He's not gonna li--" Rayne tries to stop him but he's already gone
"Can he not listen for once?" She asks.
Then there's a loud crash and something rips out the ceiling and then they all watch as Jackson writes something on the chalk board and then jumps out the window.
'STAY OUT OF MY WAY OR I KILL ALL OF YOU'
"Rayne!" She hears Stiles shout her name and she sees Erica seizing and she holds her up
"She's having a seizure." She says
🪐
"He's alive." Allison says checking on Matt
"Hey, we need to get her to a hospital." Rayne says
"Derek... only to Derek..." Erica says.
"When we get her to the hospital--" Scott says to Allison
"To Derek... To Derek..." Erica repeats
"Go." Allison says.
"Hey, Scott!" Stiles says
"Allison, I don't mean to offend you when I say this but... Scott if you prioritise her again I will out you to every hunter there fucking is. So help me." Rayne threatens and he walks and picks Erica up and they leave the building.
🪐
"Hold her up." Derek says to Rayne and she holds her head
"Is she dying?" Stiles asks and Rayne snaps her head to Derek
"She might. I--" He says and then holds her arm.
"Which is why this is gonna hurt." Derek then breaks her arm and she screams in pain
"You're okay, you're okay. Just breathe, you can do this, you're fine." Rayne soothes
"You broke her arm!" Stiles shouts.
"It'll trigger the healing process. I still gotta get the venom out-- this is where it's really gonna hurt." Derek says and his claws pierce through her skin as she screams in more pain.
"I'm here, I'm here, you're fine." Rayne says
"Just don't die." Rayne laughs as she feels tears in her eyes
"I'm sorry, I love you." Erica says and she passes out.
"Well, she said that." Stiles says and Rayne kisses her head
"Have you said that before?" He asks
"No, but I feel the same. She probably won't remember saying it." Rayne says looking down at her.
